“ Betroffenheit is rare and staggering…a stunning testament to what can happen when life turns into art. ★★★★ ” Globe and Mail

Created by Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young
Choreographed and Directed by Crystal Pite
Written by Jonathon Young

Two of Canada’s most ground-breaking performing arts companies have come together to create Betroffenheit, an innovative, boundary-stretching hybrid of theatre and dance. Betroffenheit is a unique creative collaboration by Kidd Pivot artistic director and choreographer Crystal Pite, and Electric Company Theatre co-artistic director, writer and performer Jonathon Young.

“Enthralling, I was so engrossed I nearly forgot to breathe…an evening of dance/theatre that’s as thrilling as it is affecting.” Mooney on Theatre

The German word betroffenheit describes a state of shock and bewilderment that encompasses a person in the wake of a disaster. Betroffenheit takes you to a timeless, liminal space where you return again and again even as you struggle to gain and maintain distance, and where you keep responding to the disaster long after it has subsided.
